Mark Lewis (b. 1958) is the great-grand-nephew of the legendary Hall of Fame pitcher Denton True “Cy” Young. While the Cy Young name is synonymous with American athletic history, this collection represents the family’s creative legacy. Direct stewardship by the artist’s kin ensures a seamless history of ownership, making this piece a significant heritage asset for collectors of both fine art and American history.

The Piece "019-25" is a visceral study in organic contrast and kinetic energy. The composition is dominated by a bold interplay of crimson red and soft coral pinks, punctuated by deep forest green and crisp white accents. Lewis utilizes a signature "action painting" style, where thick, structural black gestural lines create an architectural "shattering" effect across the canvas. This "atmospheric maximalism" reflects Lewis’s background in the Hollywood film industry—the canvas feels less like a static image and more like a captured moment of cinematic motion. Housed in a custom black gallery-grade frame, the work serves as a commanding focal point for modern or transitional interiors.

The Artist Mark Lewis’s path to the canvas is a uniquely American story. A U.S. Navy veteran and former Hollywood actor (ER, Anger Management), Lewis brings a sense of disciplined scale and visual storytelling to his abstracts. Based in Southern California, he is celebrated for his "living art"—textured surfaces that respond dynamically to shifting light. His work is a bridge between the grit of his Midwestern roots and the experimental spirit of West Coast modernism.
